Carson City’s Chinatown

There is a fantastic article over on the Around Carson Blog about Carson City’s Chinatown.

This is of particular interest to me, since this is right where I’ve worked for the last thirteen years! For all I know, my basement cubicle may have once been someone’s root cellar.

Now although Scott Schrantz provided excellent information and pictures from the era, he neglected to mention that there were also Chinese BMX gangs in Carson City. Here is some action packed footage from the day:

Ok, not really. I saw this video over on HTATBL!
